I am feeling awesome today! I have lost 140 lbs, and weigh 225 lbs. I am taking my weight every other week or so, and I am excited about the number today!
The good thing is that the weight loss has slowed down. The frustrating thing, is that the weight loss has slowed down. What really bugs me is when I talk to someone that has had surgery, and they learn about my numbers in such a short time, and I tell them some of the problems I am having, and they say "you don't have anything to complain about." Truly I don't, but let me try to explain something, everything I have gone through, and everything I have experienced in 5 months with changes in myself and body, is something that someone goes through at 1 - 1 1/2 years post op. I was on hyper drive, and I don't know if I was mentally prepared for what happened to me in a short period of time. Not that I am complaining, but it is just a fact.
I think I have handled things the best way I know how. Sure I may have made some mistakes, but I have learned from them and gone on with my life. People are getting used to the new me, and seems that this whole thing is sticking. That is the exciting part! I am truly a new person. Inside and out.
So if you see me, or meet me, just keep in mind what I have been through, and yes it wasn't all good, but the end justified the means.
Well done
